No Major Shifts for Bryn Mawr Lawmakers in Redistricting

Preliminary plan barely alters those who represent Bryn Mawr and Gladwyne in Harrisburg.

If plans in Harrisburg come to pass, lawmakers in Bryn Mawr and Gladwyne would shift some boundaries, but retain most of the same territory. Following the 2010 Census, state officials analyzed the data and released a preliminary plan for redrawing districts throughout the state. Legislators in Bryn Mawr and Gladwyne would shuffle their districts, but not locally impact coverage in the General Assembly.

Locally, Democrat Rep. Michael Gerber's 148th District stays virtually untouched. He will lose a part of Rosemont, but most of his area stays the same in Bryn Mawr and Gladwyne, with some additions of Merion and Belmont Hills in Lower Merion Township.

Similarly, Rep. Tim Briggs (D-149) keeps his Bryn Mawr and Gladwyne footholds. The lawmaker maintains his local district along Montgomery Avenue and into Gladwyne.

In the Senate, Daylin Leach (D-17) will retain his district with Lower Merion in place. The only change to the 17th District will be a pickup of Blue Bell, within Montgomery County.
